Abstract
The coupled Einstein-Maxwell field equations are reformulated in terms of a pair of complex functions which have especially simple forms in the case of known axially symmetric stationary solutions. The formalism affords, in particular, a simple derivation of a solution previously guessed by Newman et al.Keywords
